This post was submitted yesterday, didn't make the frontpage, and came in via the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool) that promotes high-quality posts to the frontpage temporarily to give them a second shot at visibility. When that is done, the timestamp of the article and the existing comments are temporarily shown as happening around the time the article got re-surfaced, not the original submission.
